[00:21] ludlow: Good is relative === j2 is now known as DasKreech [00:21] can someone help me with an Kubuntu issue please [00:21] tbruff13: I suppose someone can [00:21] DasKreech, hey [00:21] nancy--: in that case you'll be paying for the bandwidth over the free limit [00:22] If they are here or not is a different matter [00:22] DasKreech, okay i have figured out why most of my keyboard shortcuts do not work in pithos and gmusicbrowser [00:22] Sentynel, nancy--: what's the query about EC2 about? Ubuntu ships with EC2 aware tools? [00:22] DasKreech, they rely on a package called gnome-settings daemon [00:22] tbruff13: instead of dbus? [00:23] DasKreech, i do not know what instead of it could rely on [00:23] I just know what they plugin for gmusicbrower says [00:23] i didnt see the bandwidth change in the activity or my bills. (just a charge for elastic ip) [00:23] as far as pithos [00:23] i am not sure [00:23] Sentynel, DasKreech [00:29] DasKreech, any ideas [00:30] tbruff13: You haven't asked anything yet so I'm not sure what path my ideas should traverse [00:31] DasKreech, how do i make these program that request gnome-settings daemon work in KDE? [00:34] tbruff13: install gnome-settings-daemon then? [00:35] yofel, if i install it and try to run it [00:35] it says an error [00:36] that equates to you cannot have two shortcut systems running at the same time [00:36] i will try again [00:36] ah, no idea how to resolve that [00:39] yofel, here is a pastebin http://pastebin.com/SeLRemdG [00:40] yofel, is there any way to make KDE play nice with applications that request gnome-settings-daemon [00:40] maybe a plugin or package that could forward the request to what ever settings daemon kde uses [00:41] tbruff13: for one, gnome-settings-daemon is a user process, please don't start it with sudo [00:42] yofel, okay [00:42] How can I install oxygen-transparent? [00:42] i have to logout of x then [00:42] tbruff13: give them gnome-settings-daemon or patch them ? [00:42] tbruff13: why? [00:42] because the process will not end [00:42] tbruff13: kill it? [00:42] oh duh [00:42] sorry lol im tired today bad [00:42] heh [00:43] hi [00:43] tbruff13: though really they should register themselves with dbus and then let whatever settings manager is available handle them [00:43] how can I add content to pdf file? [00:43] darbe: LaTEX? [00:43] DasKreech, could i force this registration [00:44] DasKreech: I have created pdf file [00:44] tbruff13: erm.. perhaps. What does pithos and gmusicbrowser do? [00:45] antonio___: open system settings, workspace appearance [00:45] antonio___: in window decorations click on get new decorations and search for oxygen transparent there [00:46] can you guys please repeat what you said i got disconnected [00:48] DasKreech, gmusicbroser is just a music application and pithos connects to pandora and plays music [00:48] cannnot I add content an exist pdf file? [00:48] DasKreech, the same shortcut keys worked for both applications in gnome [00:49] DasKreech, yofel i am heading over to #KDE as well okay [00:52] DasKreech, can you guys see my posts? am i connected [00:59] all of my menu bars have suddenly disappeared [00:59] how do i get them back? [01:03] please? [01:06] amesha: try ctrl+M [01:06] just anywhere? [01:06] tbruff13: I can see them [01:07] not working :-( [01:07] amesha: I may need more context. What menu bars are you talking about? [01:07] DasKreech, you can see what [01:08] file, edit, etc. [01:08] tbruff13: posts [01:08] amesha: on which application ? [01:08] on all windows, gone [01:08] what posts [01:08] i open a new application and they're not there either [01:08] 19:52 < tbruff13> DasKreech, can you guys see my posts? am i connected [01:08] alt+anything doesn't do anything [01:08] DasKreech, oh thanks [01:09] amesha: Ah. and you can move the windwos around? [01:09] I figured out i was connected when she started posting [01:09] yes, there is a titlebar [01:09] i can close them [01:09] amesha: and ctrl+M doesn't do anythng? [01:09] maximize and minimize [01:09] nope, nothing [01:09] amesha: what were you doing when they vanished? [01:10] tbruff13: I might browse the dbus tree to see if those applications register themselves. [01:11] you can just write simple shell scripts to control them through shortcuts if they do [01:11] amesha: what were you doing when they vanished? [01:11] DasKreech, i do not know how to do that man I will try though [01:11] i killed an application that wasn't responding, and it seems that i got logged out [01:11] i logged back in and they were gone [01:12] amesha: oh dear. How did you kill the application? [01:12] amesha, what application [01:12] tbruff13: don't know how to do which part? [01:12] yofel: ping [01:13] i clicked the close button, it didn't respond for a while and kwin asked if i wanted to kill it so i said yes [01:13] the application was anki [01:13] DasKreech: pong? [01:13] although it was a plugin window that wasn't responding [01:14] DasKreech, how to pull up a dbus tree or read it [01:14] I am working on it [01:14] be nice to learn [01:14] yofel: Would qdbus show up gnome registered dbus commands? [01:14] amesha: hmm that shouldn't log you out [01:14] DasKreech: it should show the full dbus tree, including gnome [01:14] when i open something as root with kdesudo i have a menu bar [01:15] yofel: ok thanks that is what I thought [01:15] tbruff13: try qdbus from the konsole [01:15] okay [01:15] amesha: so it's a kde setting for your user then [01:16] yes [01:16] DasKreech, here is :1.100 [01:16] org.gmusicbrowser [01:16] org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.gmusicbrowser [01:16] what setting though? [01:16] gmusicbrowser is there [01:16] i couldn't find anything in the settings that i looked at [01:17] DasKreech, here is pithos :1.64 [01:17] net.kevinmehall.Pithos [01:17] org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.pithos [01:20] amesha: I thnk it may not be a GUI setting [01:20] Or rather a haywire application of a GUI setting [01:21] DasKreech, http://wiki.gmusicbrowser.org/doku.php?id=dbus_api [01:21] tbruff13: great :) === jalcine is now known as jalcine_ [01:21] here is a setting that list dbus commands for gmusicbrowser === jalcine_ is now known as jalcine [01:21] how do i configure kde to bind these to certain keys [01:23] DasKreech, looks like i can just enter the dbus command into khotkeys and bind [01:23] it [01:24] tbruff13: yep :) [01:24] amesha: oh didn't see you leave [01:24] DasKreech, can you answer one more question [01:24] tbruff13: Yes, That was the question. [01:24] DasKreech, ha ha very funny [01:24] i seem to be getting kicked off regularly for some reason [01:24] * DasKreech bows [01:24] and Good night! [01:25] did you say something while i was gone? [01:25] amesha: I thnk it may not be a GUI setting [01:25] DasKreech, if i bind the key fn+f12 in gmusicbrowser can i still bind it for pithos as well [01:25] Or rather a haywire application of a GUI setting [01:25] okay, any idea how to fix it? [01:25] tbruff13: long as they are not there at the same time. You may wnat to build a small shell script that can differentiate between the two and then bind to that [01:26] no so I'll ping yofel again [01:26] lol [01:26] amesha, what version of kde [01:26] yofel: Any idea why all KDE applications would lose the file-edit menu? [01:27] Ctrl+M doesn't rectify [01:27] occured post Xorg umm lets say crash [01:27] i could try logging out and logging in again [01:28] opening applications in another user works [01:28] hm, no sorry, if ctrl+m doesn't show it then I don't know what's wrong either [01:28] I'd try rebooting or a runlevel bounce [01:29] i could delete my ~/.kde but i'd much rather not [01:29] ctrl+m IS still assigned as show menubar shortcut? [01:29] yofel: I'm trying to think if there is a setting that would move them ala a global menu bar [01:30] amesha: you can just move it to a new name [01:30] yofel: Oh hmm good question [01:30] right, i'd still rather not [01:30] amesha: :-) [01:30] let me check about ctrl+m [01:31] yes ctrl+m is defined as show menubar in the system settings [01:33] i tried changing it to something different and then using the new shortcut and it still doesn't do anything [01:36] it looks like it's only affecting qt and gtk applications [01:36] others have their menubar [01:39] amesha: so firefox has no menu? [01:40] emacs has a menu, idle (a tk app) has a menu [01:40] There's a package to provide global menu support for Firefox in the repos, no? === nosrepa is now known as aperson [02:16] amesha: what are you trying? [02:30] hello everyone, is there have someone know chinese? [02:50] !cn|kuanger [02:50] kuanger: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [03:14] DasKreech, there was no dbus command to skip songs on that page [03:14] I do not understand one thing [03:15] Why do these shortcuts not work in KDE in the first place [03:35] tbruff13: you have to register with whatever is capturing the commands [03:35] DasKreech, huh [03:35] I am going to file bugs [03:35] and junk [04:10] hola [04:44] hi === james is now known as Guest82935 === dave is now known as Guest90693 [05:25] Hi friends, Is there any way to block websites on kubuntu? apart from editing /etc/hosts? === matteo is now known as Guest54684 [05:34] c2tarun, block outbound traffic with iptables (or a firewall, like ufw, or something that ships with Kubuntu), thereby blocking traffic to websites [05:34] you could also set exemptions as needed via this same method [05:35] that second method, however, is extraordinarily rigid, that is to say allows absolutely no exceptions other than those configured by yourself [05:36] if i may ask, what extent of website blocking were you looking for? [05:36] something like a parental controls system? [05:36] EvilResistance, I want to block a particular website. [05:36] c2tarun, can i privmsg you? [05:36] just for a sec [05:36] * c2tarun hates when friends waste there valuable time on using fb on my laptop [05:36] lol [05:36] sure [05:36] so you want to block facebook [05:36] yup :| [05:37] well, that's semi-easy... [05:37] (emphasis on semi) [05:37] how?? [05:38] lemme dabble around in my system, i want to check a few things first [05:38] sure :) [05:38] (make sure i remember how to do this without screwing all outbound inet traffic :P) [05:39] bleh, i'll need to boot to *nix, (i'm on my windows system atm) [05:41] EvilResistance, sure, I'll wait :) [05:42] c2tarun, which Kubuntu? 10.04? 11.10? etc. [05:43] 11.10, is there any difference? [05:43] no, just wanted to make sure it was recent ;P [05:44] c2tarun, incoming /query [05:45] :) [05:52] !notunity > c2tarun [05:52] c2tarun, please see my private message [06:28] Hi All [06:29] isthis possible: over one server connect to more than 1 machine in local network [06:30] all ports === user is now known as den === den is now known as Denis_Lobanov [07:08] hi, do you guys have any suggestions for any video/movie "manager" software that plays nicely with kde? basically i have a tv connected to the computer and i would like guests to be able to see the imdb/rotten tomato info and stuff like that [07:08] i tried xbmc but the mouse tracking stuff was painful to use [07:13] is this possible: over one server connect to more than 1 machine in local network === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [07:43] <[fade]> hi there, got 11.04, when i lock my laptop, after 10 minutes monitor should go to standby, but backlight is always on [07:43] <[fade]> power settings are ok [07:44] <[fade]> i tried searching for some solution, but prooven much harder than initialy thought [07:54] 有中国的吗？ [07:54] <[fade]> sure kuanger [07:55] ……说句中国话 [08:36] good morning [10:02] any one has already compiled kmymoney? [10:15] punchedPeace_: what version are you looking for, 4.62? [11:11] so what's the future of Kubuntu now that canonical has axed financial support? === david is now known as Guest52857 [11:52] hi... I just upgraded to Kubuntu 11.10 and apparently window size of applications isn't remembered anymore. I'm pretty sure the previous version did this. (for example, resizing dolphin, closing it, reopening it results in different window size than when closed). [11:52] is there a way to get back to the old behavior? [13:04] 'Morning all [13:05] morning [13:31] Morning all :) .. for some reason the font rendition in a terminal in kubuntu isn't as smooth/pleasing/ as easy to read, as a gtk terminal window in ubuntu. Is there a way to change this? Does it have to do with font choice or how the system displays fonts? [13:32] There is [13:32] In konsole go to Settings -> Current Profile [13:32] Then the Appearance tab [13:33] And click Edit Font [13:34] lordievader: thanks.. I'm having an issue finding Current Profile in Settings. In which group is that? [13:35] Scunizi: Euhh do you have your konsole window open? [13:37] lordievader: (face palm). I was looking in "Setting" off the menu system and have irssi running in Guake so I totally overlooked, looking in an actual terminal window. [13:37] Lol [13:37] Well it's just in the konsole window [13:37] Scunizi, current profile>appearance tab [13:38] settings>current profile>appearance tab [13:38] oops :) [13:42] lordievader: my konsole window doesn't have much of a menu structure.. nothing that you've mentioned. I see that type of menu in a gtk terminal window but nothing like that off the kde konsole window. Just the menu/dot in the upper left with some options. [13:42] Scunizi, if you don't see the menubar , ctrl+shift+M [13:43] Hey thx blues didn't know that :) [13:43] BluesKaj: wow.. I had no idea that existed. [13:44] yea lordievader, right clicking in the terminal shows that ,,,I also leqarbed the hard way [13:44] er learned [13:44] :P [13:47] BluesKaj: lordievader : got it. Thanks. I feel like an idiot. I should have tried the right mouse click in the window as well ah-la XFCE [13:47] hey that is what we are here for! [13:48] the right click dialog is your friend , most of the time :) [13:48] lordievader: and good that I caught you too! I'm typically on an dasking questions around 7pm Pacific Time and all is quiet [13:49] dasking=asking [13:49] Really? i can see that being annoying... [13:49] early there [13:50] 9:50 AM here in the east [13:50] right now it is.. some days I just have to get out of bed and it's typically between 4am and 6am.. I hate those days. [13:51] no rhyme or reason why I wake up then but when I do I can't just lye there [13:51] Both in the u.s.? [13:51] Southern California here. [13:52] Sounds nice [13:52] yup, hate waking up in the dark at 6AM , so I just make coffee and chat in here..I'm in Ontario , 200mi N of Torornto [13:53] Well i am in Holland :) [13:53] err Toronto ,,,we love mispelling it [13:54] What time is it in Holland right now? [13:54] jup typos are fun.... [13:54] on my fuzzy clock (love that clock) its "Four o'clock" [13:55] early spring here , the snow just melted... was a pretty mild winter for our area...winter sports were practically non-existent [13:55] the day's early yet! Never made it to Holland. I spent 3 years in Germany and 2 in Italy, cruzed all over Europe via train, bus, tram etc. Had lots of fun [13:56] the offtopic cops will be her soon :) [13:56] here [13:56] lol [13:56] BluesKaj: it was in the 70's yesterday here LOLOLOL [13:56] ok slightly more ontopic, is it possible to have open applications bound to activities? [13:57] kinda like the virtual desktops? [13:57] good question.. I haven't played with activities.. [13:57] yeah , we had 70sF for about 10 days ...50s now..which is fine for yardwork etc [13:58] Me neither, this is my second day using kde as main window manager. [13:58] yeah , the activities options "reason for being" ecapes me [13:58] what's the link for the updated KDE packages? The ppa I mean [13:58] escapes me [13:59] Euhh [13:59] Scunizi: did you mean this one: [13:59] lordievader: I just can't stand unity on a dual monitor desktop setup.. on my laptop it's fine but a bit clunky for me. [13:59] https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/backports [14:00] I just can't stand unity, on one monitor or 2... [14:00] that could be it.. is this the one that's used to upgrade kde desktop to 4.8.xx [14:00] sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports [14:00] that's it. [14:00] backport is basically unsupported and unstable newer versions. [14:01] you're right .. typically that would be true but it's a bit different with the kde desktop [14:02] is it? [14:02] in my experience kde is a bit more delicate than gnome, one package update can screw up the system... [14:03] I'm running 12.04/kde 4.8.1 and so far it's really quite stable [14:03] That is nice [14:03] got the same on my desktop and it's smooth.. [14:03] It is now in a beta stage right? [14:03] yes [14:04] official release in a month or so [14:04] Ah, I had the alpha version installed for a few weeks that one was also suprisingly stable. [14:04] LTS as well [14:04] what I really like is some of the window management.. two open windows when you drag them to the edges of the screen you can drop them 1/2 screen 1/4 etc [14:05] the version that i am running (11.10) has that too... [14:06] although it's a little touchy trying to get the "outline" to show up for 1/2 screen [14:07] I have it setup that i can drag windows to the next virtual desktop, so that makes it even more difficult [14:07] yes that would make it a bit more problemmatic :) [14:08] the space to activate the feature should be larger [14:09] in the taskbar icon right click and the page can be moved to a different desktop [14:10] page/app whatever [14:10] I guess most already know about that feature [14:15] Need to get some food, ttyl [14:22] wow.. I was doing the backport updates and the system froze. I had to do a dpkg -a and -f to fix the system and continue with the update.. [14:26] y === scott__ is now known as ScottyK [14:58] hi, I've kubuntu 12.04, I've noticed that aptitude -d full-upgrade, with 0 packets to install, keeps writing to HD like a mad! any idea? [14:59] I've to use ^C after a while... [14:59] Do you get the same result when doing the same with apt-get? [15:00] lsof shows a lot of /var/lock usage [15:00] lordievader: what is the syntax for the same feature? [15:01] markit: I believe it was: apt-get dist-upgrade [15:01] urgh, ok [15:01] or are you just trying to update packages? [15:01] no, returns to the prompt imediatly [15:02] lordievader: aptitude introduced "full-upgrade" to upgrade packages, also versions, without triggering the dist version upgrade [15:02] don't run full upgrade [15:02] BluesKaj: it has to work, it did since long time, it's a bug [15:02] on bts dist-upgrade [15:02] err betas [15:03] i don't want to do a dist upgrade, just a full-upgrade like I'm used to do since long long time [15:03] so you are just trying to update packages? [15:03] but the point is that looks buggy [15:03] lordievader: sure [15:03] anyone can confirm this bug? [15:03] yeah , it's a devel release ...dist is best [15:03] Ah you can do that with "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" [15:04] BluesKaj: dist is to jump from one version to another, I'm already in Precise 12.04 [15:04] lordievader: I'm here to have confirm of the bug [15:04] don't want to use apt-get, just have aptitude fixed [15:04] :) [15:05] ah, haven't said a thing. I rarely use aptitude myself so that is why i suggested it. [15:05] no it's not , markit , dist is for upgrading apps with the the releas , it's no longer used to upgrade to the newer release , do-release-uypgrade does that now [15:05] do-release-upgrade rather [15:06] really? It seems my knowlege is old -.- [15:06] yep, in debian dist-upgrade works, in ubuntu they have introduced that script [15:06] dist-upgrade in ubuntu fails miserably [15:06] distupgrade will upgrade kde if you have the backports ppas fo example [15:06] BluesKaj: also full-upgrade, trust me :) [15:07] this damn KB is going out the window soon [15:07] anyway, I've to run, hope some dev will catch my rant and fix it, thanks you all :) [15:07] KB? [15:08] no markit not full upgrade ..that's never been advised by anyone that i can remember , just run dist-upgrade [15:08] KB=keyboard, lordievader === pangolin is now known as Guest84027 [15:08] BluesKaj: he already left [15:09] yeah ...gigures [15:09] figures [15:09] BluesKaj: ah, in microsoft terms its quite something else XD [15:09] what is wrong with it anyhow? [15:10] full-upgrade is iffy and old, not sure it's even doing what it's supposed to === Guest84027 is now known as iforgotmypass [15:11] well it looks like it doesn't, probably the reason markit came here [15:14] aptitude isn't up to date either ..I used it for yrs , but lately apt-get has been developed to surpass aptitudes capabilities , especially in terms of drawing in the correct dependencies [15:14] where i can find steps to run faster kubuntu ? [15:15] apt-get is quite nice, never bothered to use aptitude, apt-get does all i need it to do [15:15] here is a ubuntu guide for speed, not sure if it actually works though... http://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-to-speed-up-ubuntu.html [15:22] lordievader, have you tried that tutorial ? [15:22] yea? I have [15:22] and? [15:23] As i said, I don't know if it actually works, doesn't seem much faster... [15:23] ok , maybe your machine is new o it won't make much diff [15:23] so [15:24] I tried a couple of the commands ..didn't bother with swap [15:24] Nah my machine is now 3-4 years old or something, Athlon 64 X2 [15:24] same as mine [15:25] I didn't bother with the services, that would probably make some impact. [15:25] I added the preload and fstab line [15:25] gonna reboot justto check [15:29] And? [15:30] shrug ...can't tell :) [15:30] I had the same thing :P [15:31] we have the same cpu [15:31] 3G Ram [15:31] ? [15:32] What + number do you got?
